Chapter 334 I want a champion
The tenacity of the Timberwolves' defense is rare in the league.

In Popovich's mind, only the Pistons can match this defense.

They have the widest range of defensive ghosts in Kevin Garnett.There is also Bai Jidong, who can defend from the first position to the fourth position, coupled with Olowokandi and Battier. The chemical reaction of the four makes the Timberwolves enter a defense-oriented atmosphere.

Hardaway is the only gap in this lineup, and it is also the gap that the Timberwolves deliberately exposed.Just like a siege battle, if you want to give the opponent a fatal blow, you have to expose a gap for the opponent to let the opponent feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Once Hardaway is attacked at this point, Garnett and Bai Jidong, the two masters of defense with unlimited activities, will make up for it as soon as possible.

Breaking through Hardaway is easy, but what is difficult is what to do afterwards?Just as Parker passed Hardaway, Bai Jidong immediately entangled him.

Parker didn't have the confidence to break through Bai Weidong, so he passed the ball to Bowen, who was replaced by Hardaway.

Bowen dribbled the ball with a curved arm to attack. His hand moved, but the referee didn't see it. Hardaway was pushed back again and again by this movement.

Even so, Hardaway guarded him.

Bowen's role on the offensive end is to run through positions, and the scoring method is three-pointers.If all these are strangled, Bowen's role on the offensive end will become very limited.

Knowing this, Hardaway sticks to him with confidence. He knows that Bowen has no ability to get rid of himself.Bowen is not a reckless person, he knows how much he has.

When Bowen passed the ball out, he fell into the trap of the Timberwolves.

Bai Jidong appeared like a ghost, and intercepted Bowen's pass, "Counterattack!" "Good steal!" Battier ran forward excitedly.

Bai Jidong dribbled vigorously. Under his mobilization, the Timberwolves' fast break was methodical, and everyone knew where they should stand.

Bai Jidong passed the ball to Garnett, who only stopped for a second and quickly passed it to Hardaway.

Hardaway dribbled the ball and broke through, again involving the Spurs' defense, and then passed it to Bai Jidong.

Bai Jidong himself is a huge restraining force. As soon as he gets the ball, the attention of the entire Spurs team turns to him.

Just as Ginobili was about to double-team with Bowen, Bai Jidong pushed the ball to the right.

Battier was completely open, and he had a great touch tonight, hitting two [-]-pointers in the first quarter, and it was his first shot in the second quarter.

The basketball is detached from the hand and flies into the air. This period of time can arouse people's reverie the most.

Battier stood where he was, and the ever-changing court turned into tens of thousands of gazes, and everyone's attention was on the basketball in the air.

"Shh!"

"nice shot!"

"Sean Battier, from Duke University, his specialty is defense and three-pointers, tonight he gave full play to his specialty."

"This is his first year in Minnesota. He has connected with this team. No one is more suitable for Minnesota than him. He is a perfect championship puzzle!"

Parker's advance was like a whirling wind, breaking through Hardaway one step at a time.This made Hardaway very frustrated, and more than that, Garnett's supplementary defense failed to stop Parker.

After Parker entered the paint area, he turned around Garnett with an unimaginable collection of the ball, and made a successful throw towards the basket.

Garnett was furious, "Fucking French chicken!"

"KG, calm down." Olowokandi comforted him.

Garnett, however, was like gasoline, ignited at one o'clock, did not listen to persuasion, and quickly ran across the half court. Before Bai Jidong arrived, he saw him standing there waiting for the ball.

Agility is one of Garnett's weapons, as long as he is given enough space, his offense will not be inferior to anyone.

This also reflects from the side that Garnett is a flawed offensive player.

Once the space is insufficient, Garnett's offense will be limited, and many methods cannot be used.But this time, he was unstoppable.

No matter how strong Duncan's defense is, he can only try his best to catch up with Garnett's guard-like dribble.

Garnett destroyed Duncan's defense, like dismembering a corpse, from top to bottom, he had to cut the corpse into many pieces before he would stop.

Garnett finally raised his long arm high, threw the ball into the sky, and dunked with one arm in front of Duncan's eyes, ending the offense.

"Wonderful! The two No. 21s are talking directly!" Smith exclaimed.

Barkley said: "We all know KG's ability. He is the "ticket" (Karnett's nickname). With him, the stadium's ticket income is guaranteed."

"Yes, his style of play is very gorgeous and can attract a large number of fans. He and TD are completely different types." Smith said: "I am a visualist. If I had to choose the better one, I would choose KG."

"I will choose the champion." Barkley euphemistically indicated his choice.

"Ahhh!!" Garnett roared loudly, turning into a bloodthirsty wolf.

Duncan was expressionless, like a Buddha statue, calm and composed.

Duncan strolled forward, "Tony, give me the ball!" "Ooh!"

Parker has rarely seen such a strong desire to attack in Duncan's face.

The opponent is Garnett, Kevin Garnett who burned himself and his opponent into ashes.

Faced with such an opponent, even Duncan couldn't calm down.

Duncan got the ball and Garnett was guarding him.

According to Sanders' arrangement, Olowokandi usually defends Duncan.This round, the two of them didn't talk, but they had a tacit understanding.

Duncan took the initiative to ask for the ball, and Garnett took the initiative to switch defenses.The second round of the two 21st is about to start.

Garnett's defense is like a gate that locks all exits. If Duncan wants to score, he must take the initiative. Garnett will not show his flaws to him.

Duncan stepped forward decisively, taking the ball with his left hand and breaking through to the basket on the weak side. This was his first step; Garnett reacted sharply and blocked Duncan's attacker first.

"It will definitely go online!"

Garnett guessed Duncan's second move, but couldn't guard Duncan's third move.

This attack was doomed to a defensive failure since Garnett was leaned on by Duncan.Once Duncan leans against Garnett, his offense cannot be limited.

Duncan leaned on Garnett's body, took off and hooked before him, but missed.

Duncan leaned on Garnett's body to grab an offensive rebound and scored a second offense.

"KG" Olowokandi wanted to encourage Garnett, but saw something in Garnett's face that scared him.

Garnett's expression was full of anger, which continued to increase with Duncan's departure, "Give me the ball!"

"Is this okay?" Olowokandi asked.

Bai Jidong said: "It doesn't matter, let them have a good duel."

Once upon a time, KGVSTD was a hot topic.

Because these two people are in the same position and the same number.

They each represent a style, calm, warm, flat, passionate.

Duncan's footsteps were faster than Garnett, and he became the champion earlier than Garnett.

People no longer compare Garnett with Duncan, because Duncan's honor has already surpassed Garnett's.

Duncan is the champion, and Garnett has never even touched the floor of the finals.

Since last year, good people began to compare Garnett with Nowitzki.Garnett hated it deeply. He didn't want the media to compare himself with that German sissy all day long.

Now, he finally has the chance to face Duncan face to face.

This is different from the house-like game of the regular season.

The playoffs will determine who is the winner and who is the loser.

Duncan spread his arms and stood still like a Buddha statue.Garnett dribbles high, trying to tear his defense apart.

Duncan's position is still amazing, he took advantage of his position, kept up with Garnett's pace, and squeezed him into an uncomfortable position.

Garnett leaned against Duncan reluctantly and slammed into it fiercely.

Until he entered his hot zone, Garnett received the ball, swayed left and right, and took off to the left.

Duncan judged his foothold, followed him, and waved his right hand, which happened to block Garnett's shot.

Garnett's eyes are wide open, if he barely makes a shot, it will be blocked.

Behind Garnett, a figure ran to the opposite corner of Garnett, "KG!"

"Sean!" Garnett saw Battier, and a voice flashed in his mind, "Kevin, do you want a championship or victory?"

"I want?" Garnett passed the ball firmly, "I want the championship!"

Battier praised, "Go in, dear!"

"Shh!"

"Sean Battier hit his fourth three-pointer. Tonight he took four shots and hit all of them. He currently has 12 points and his shooting percentage is 100%."

"Sean is a killer who is easy to overlook. If San Antonio continues to underestimate him, it will suffer a lot."

"I think they have suffered a big loss. They underestimated Sean's ability."

"Honestly, I didn't expect you to pass the ball," Duncan said.

Garnett said: "I lost this round, and I will win it back later. Not only this game, but I will also win the championship." "Good luck." Duncan didn't take Garnett's words seriously .

"Brothers, cheer up and let them know whose home is here!" Garnett shouted: "What we want is not a goal, but a victory in this game, the O'Brien Cup!"

"That's right!" Battier responded loudly. "You're making it hard for me all of a sudden," Hardaway said. "The worst thing for an old man is to be as hot as a young man."

The Timberwolves' ambitions were announced by Garnett, and the Spurs quickly launched a strong impact on them.

"Want to win the championship? Win us first!" Ginobili missed a three-pointer, Duncan ran in from under the basket, grabbed the offensive rebound and made a dunk.

"Excuse me, we want the champion too," Nazr Mohammed said loudly.

Garnett sneered, "Let's see who is more capable, you sons of bitches!"

"Obviously us, because TD has won two championships, he is very experienced." Muhammad said proudly.

"Speaking of the experience of winning the championship, we also have it." Hardaway touched Bai Jidong's head and said, "TD has two rings, and White Wolf has three. From this point of view, we still have the advantage."

The competition was in full swing, and the battle of words was also loud.
